A Cat Had a Birthday

By Jeff Moss

A cat had a birthday and all the cats came
To eat cat cake and play a cat game,
To open cat presents and when they were through,
They all said “Happy birthday” the way that cats do.
They said, “Meow, meow, meow,” everybody do it.
“Meow, meow, meow,” really nothing to it.
“meow, meow, meow,” well imagine that,
You just said, “Happy birthday” in cat.

A duck had a birthday and all the ducks came
To eat duck cake and play a duck game,
To open duck presents and when they were through,
They all said “Happy birthday” the way that ducks do.
They said, “Quack quack quack,” everybody do it.
“Quack quack quack,” really nothing to it.
“Quack quack quack,” well the ducks are in luck,
You just said, “Happy birthday” in duck.

When a rooster wants to say, “Happy birthday” to you,
He says, “Cock a doodle, cock a doodle do.”
Listen real close and I’ll tell you some more,
Happy birthday to a lion is a great big ROAR!!!

A cow had a birthday and all the cows came
To eat cow cake and play a cow game,
To open cow presents and when they were through,
They all said “Happy birthday” the way that cows do.
They said, “Moooooo,” everybody do it.
“Moooooo,” really nothing to it.
“Moooooo,” well you just learned how,
To say, “Happy birthday” in cow.
